Norway’s soccer federation is calling on FIFA President Gianni Infantino to resign, escalating pressure on an embattled leader after a failed plan to sell stakes in the World Cup. The Norwegian federation held a meeting Thursday, with president Lise Klaveness saying the request was made immediately. The move follows growing backlash tied to Infantino’s proposal. In other U.S. sports legal news, a Texas judge dismissed a misdemeanor gun charge against NBA guard James Harden after he completed an alternative resolution program that allowed him to avoid a criminal conviction. In football, Las Vegas Raiders quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Maxx Crosby had a late-practice scuffle, while Detroit Lions’ Jahmyr Gibbs secured a record three-year $67.5 million deal.
